The World's First Reality/Horror Movie. Is it Art or Exploitation?

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB)September 10, 2009

Producer Daniel Wilson of Grand Slam Pictures announced today that the world premiere of The Long Weekend at the Marbella Film Festival (which runs from Oct 1-4, 2009), will proceed as planned despite the growing controversy around the movie.

Additionally, Wilson will be selling the American and foreign rights at the Toronto International Film Festival, along with his producing partner and the star of The Long Weekend, Peter Bonaventure. Already, Wilson is in negotiations with Peace Arch Entertainment for the Canadian television rights.

The controversy around the movie stems from the fact that the movie was shot entirely with hidden cameras, unbeknownst to the 'actors' in the movie. After five years of legal wrangling, the movie will finally have its world premiere, despite the controversy.
